Neutron spectroscopy. Progress report, 1 October 1976--30 September 1977
Description
During 1977 a six week run was performed at ORELA using the new data acquisition system based on the PDP-11. Coincident double energy fission fragments were measured as a function of neutron time-of-flight for 229Th, 235U and 239Pu. Data was also obtained in the thermal energy region. Extensive results are reported on the 1976 229Th measurements with 2 families of widely differing fission widths determined. Earlier results on the variation of the ratio of symmetric to asymmetric mass division on 239Pu fission were confirmed. Variations in the total kinetic energies of 235U resonances have been seen. An experiment using 252Cf and measuring the energy of two coincident fission fragments and the time-of-flight of one of them was started. Work on the adaption of the code MULTI to the Columbia University computer was continued
